Mostly caught up, I injected 33 more today which were
cross-posted (which tripped up some of my anti-spam rules) or
simply missed by gmane.
There may be more in some personal archives gmane doesn't
have...
I've also added NNTP links (including gmane) to the footer in
public-inbox.org/git

Some of the generated links have %40 in them which is the URI
escape for '@'. I'll make a change to keep the '@' unescaped to
lessen confusion.
Due to the use of SQLite as a stable store for NNTP article
numbers; public-inbox can also do partial matching (up to 100
results, currently) to help correct legitimate mistakes; but I
wouldn't rely on it too much:
